tragedies, the world over, and near home

[Roberto de Inocencio]

"outward throughout the
entire country." And probably the whole world, Ed. As some of you know I was 
partly educated in the States and these tragedies do hit my heart and 
feelings for I love America and I share the grief and sorrow with which that 
country is often hit by people who, like me, were received there with an 
open heart.
I am very sorry for what happened at Virginia Tech and want to share in the 
mourning.
Roberto

>>Well, I just wish it couldn't be anyone's store.  Fortunately there are

>>Please pray or offer up a healing energy for these families and the 
>>recovery of this whole community.  Grieving, and yet I did not know a 
>>single one of them personally. Ann Hale
